Love the picture!!!LOL! Are you in Maryland? Noticed the Orioles shirt! I lived in Maryland for 40 years until I retired to Florida!Karen

And you look great LJCBF!!!

Nothing to do with Cinco De Mayo. It is my 43rd anniversary. We did not realize that everyone would help us celebrate! Back bb(before banding), we used to go to Mexican rest. and have a drink and eat in Maryland. I didn't feel like it this year. Drove by some her in Florida, they were crowded earlier. Back in 2011 we were in Phoenix area and went out to celebrate with my sister and brother-in-law. The place waited for the "gringo" to leave before starting their celebrations! Hope that you all who celebrated can recover in the AM! Karen

Only if you are above 30 BMI! After that, they won't pay for a fill.

I am sooo disappointed, I didn't get either of those pms. Guess I must not be as desirable as you 2. waah!!! Flrosie, I guess we will just have to pout some! :ph34r:

((((hugs)))) it is probably stress. Breath!! You can do it. Follow the rules that you have learned over the last few months. Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

All of the above!!I Also, I love that no one remembers the fat lady at church, anymore. Church is my main activity, and I am considered normal. Being able to keep up with a grandchild at an all day outdoors field trip. Congrats to us oldtimers for a job well done and the job ahead at maintaining our losses! Karen

Agreed, but sometimes, I can feel the cold liquids pass through the band. I can feel the port, tho". And at times the port is very dominate. Karen

What Maddygram said. But you said the other day. How many days, my surgeon has his patients on 2 days clear and 2 days full liquids after a fill to avoid swelling problems. Best wishes, Karen

Good news, Donna, sound as if you are in the "green" zone for sure. Keep up the good work. I was going to advise a bob haircut for you, but it appears you already have one. I think bobs hide hair loss well. Best wishes and keep on the right path to success! Karen

Hi Natalie, the gallbladder as my answer, but read this after your own surgeon said it. Hope that you feel better soon. Karen

Possibly you are too tight. Ask your surgeon for .5 cc removed. see if that will do it. I, too, have a 100 cc band, and can't tolerate my fill beyond 5.2 cc, best wishes,Karen

How many are you drinking? Most of us have about 4 a day. Are you getting enough calories? You really should not be that hungry if you are. Are you drinking anything else. I was allowed clear liquids too, broth, Crystal Light, and sugar free jello! Best wishes. keep the faith! Karen

Good for you Candace! you are living prove that determination can get you what you deserve! Happy 30th birthday!

Great NSV, b-52! I'll bet you can wow those naysayers!

Not me, but just wanted to give you a hug!((((hug)))). You have been through a lot. Best wishes for your health. Karen

Hang in there! Best wishes on a successful journey!
